The patient proved to be affected by a typical case of the syndrome and the approach used concentrated on an accurate diagnosis and immediate therapy carried out during laparoscopic examination. A control examination after approximately one month confirmed the resolution of both perihepatitis and symptoms. The patient is now in good health some three years following the operation.
